Do not encrypt the following archive, backup, or token files. Enabling BitLocker Drive Encryption with the TPM encrypts all data on the hard disk drive. For detailed information on how to use and configure BitLocker Drive Encryption, see Windows Help and Support.
Notes on using BitLocker Drive Encryption
Be sure to initialize the TPM with the Infineon TPM Professional Package before enabling BitLocker Drive Encryption. If you enable it without initializing the TPM, a TPM owner password is not generated, so you will not be able to configure the Infineon TPM Professional Package. The Infineon TPM Professional Package does not make a backup copy of a file (recovery password) for BitLocker Drive Encryption. An additional BitLocker system partition (S drive) has been pre-configured. This system partition uses 1. 5 GB of your total hard disk drive volume. You must enable the TPM in the BIOS setup screen in order to turn on BitLocker Drive Encryption. Do not encrypt data on a storage device (such as a USB flash memory device) on which a recovery key is stored using BitLocker Drive Encryption.
